Recycling
North Reading Recycles! - Why?
It’s not just about the planet -- it's about money. Our town’s money. North Reading pays for every pound of trash, but pays the same for recycling no matter how much the town recycles. The more you reduce, re-use, and recycle, the less North Reading is spending of your tax dollars to dispose of trash.
That’s right: recycling saves money.
So, if you have been recycling, see what else you can put in the recycling bin. If you haven’t been, now’s a great time to start. Lose Weight, North Reading!
